' CODES- My present invention provides a machine embodying a largenumber of relatively stationarily located molding and baking devices,each or which consists of a parison mold and a core sect-ion therefor,the mold and core section embodying one or more molding units, therebeing devices provided for locking the halves of the parison moldtogether and for locking the core member with the cores in the parisonmold.

The invention also provides a traveling carriage which is preferablyrectilinearly movable across in front of the molding and baking devices;the carriage being provided with mechanism for unlocking, openin closingand relocking the molding mechanism as the carriage is drawn along pastthe same; the carriage is also provided with a batter reservoir anddipping tank and with mechanism whereby the cores oi": the molds whenunlocked may be removed, dropped into the batter and restored to theparison molds to effect the charging act; the carriage also is providedwith devices for effecting the release or dropping oi the baked conesfrom the molds, trimming the cones after they have been dropped andfinally ejecting the same from the machine to a suitable place ofcollection; the machine also embodies a mechanism whereby as the arrivesatone end oi its path of movement, it will be automatically operativclydisconnected itrom. the molding mechanism so that the carriage may bemoved backwardiy to the other extreme of illustrated in the accompanyingin which Figure 1 is an elevation of the invention, a part only of theplurality oi molding devices and trackway etc. being shown.

Flg. 2 is a side. elevation looking at the drawings,

parts shown in Fig. 1, from right'to left,

the batter reservoir and its delivery spout to the dipping tank and theclipping tank supports being omitted for clearness oi" illustration.

Fig. 3 is an end elevation on a smaller scale, parts being omitted, toillustrate the manner in which the carriage is automatically operativelydisconnected when ready to be returned to the starting place.

Figs. 4 and 5 are diagrammatic views of the mold guiding and shiftingtrackway, the portion shown 1n F1g. 4 being at theentrant end of thetrackway and that shown in Fig. 5 designating the exit end of the same.Fig fi is a detail view of a portion of the inventlon.

In the drawings, in which like numerals and letters of referencedesignate like parts in all the figures, 1 represents the stationaryframe-work bound together by cross beams 2 and longitudinal bars 3+4respectively, on the latter of which the arms 6 of the parison molds 5are :tulcrun'led at 7.

8 is the core bars which sustain the cores 9' of the respective sets ofmolding devices, the core bars 8 being carried by arms 10 which arepivoted at 11 to links. 12 that are pivoted at to the cross bars 2.

14: are the uprights which extend upwardly from the bar 3 on each sideof the arms 6. and 10, and in the upper end of which the pivoted corebar latches 15 are locked.

The construction of the molding devices, i. 6., the parison molds 5,core bar 8 and cores 9, arms 6 and 10' and links 12, etc, may be thesame that disclosed in my Patent :tt-LOTLOQZ, issued August 26,1913, andin this application, I make no claim, per .90, to the construction ofthese parts,

As in mypatent aforesaid, the core bars 8 are provided with rollerslowhich are designed to engage the trackway 31, hereinafter again referredto.

1'? is a bar which is cross beams 19 of the signed to engage with hairlatch 15 times suspended from the carnage and 1s do the end of the coreto nnlatch the core bars and 18 is'a second bar which is suspended fromthe cross beams 19 and is designed to engage the latches '15 to relatchthe cross bars after the molds have been charged. The latch 15 is anarticulated member and may be of the same construction as that disclosedin my patent hereinbefore referred to.

The traveling carriage consists of a framework 20, 19 and 21 supportedon rollers 59 which run on the traokway 58 that is located in front ofthe molding devices, the carriage being guided by a series of threerollers 22-23 24 which cooperate with the guide and track elements25--6263 supported on standards 26 from the frame 1, the traveling framehaving bac sections 21 which carry the rollers 22-2324. The parisonmolds are opened, closed and latched by the latch devices best shown inFig. 1, and the construction of which may be the same as that disclosedin my patent afore: said, or that disclosed in my Patent #1,119,239,issued December 1, 1914. This latching mechanism consists essentially ofa lever 27 pivoted at one end 27 to one of the mold sections and at theother end the same ispivoted at to one end of lever 28 that is pivotedat 28 to the othermold section, the place of pivotal connection betweenthe levers 27-28 being provided with a'roller 30 for a purpose presentlyunderstood, and

the free end of the lever 28 is also provided with roller 30 for thesame purpose.-

, 31' isa trackway that is carried by the,

traveling carriage and has its front portion upwardly inclined as at 31whereby as the traveling carriage moves from right to left in Fig. 1,the trackway 31 will engage the rollers 16 of the core bars and raisethe cores slightly in the molds to strip them loose from the, bakedcones in substantially the same manner as is done in my patented machinefirst above referred to. The trackway 31 alines with a finger 86 on thedipping shaft arm 85, whereby as the rollers 16 roll off the trackway 31they will roll onto the finger36. The construction of the dipping crankand the finger for engaging the core bar roller maybe the same as thatdisclosed in my patents above referred to and further description of theconstruction of the same I is thought. to be unnecessary.

The trackway 313l" is supported in suitable standards 32 carried by thetraveling carriage.

33 are bearings on the carriage frame in which the shaft 34 isiournaled, the shaft 84 trimmer tubes 41 are sustained on brackets 44 onthe traveling frame. The trimmed product is pushed through the tubes 41by the head of the pusher lever and is de livered onto a chute 45 bywhich it is conveyed from the machine to any suitable collectingreceptacle, not shown.

The cones are dropped from the molds when opened at position C in Fig.1, onto a chute 42 sustained at 4-3 on the traveling frame and later, bythe chute 4-2, are conveyed to the trimming tubes 41.

The construction of the chute 42 and trimining mechanism 40-41 may bethe same as that disclosed in my patent first above referred to andtherefore further lQSCIi}')ilOH of the same is thought to beunnecessary. 49-5O are the parison mold unlocking Al vices and these mayhe of the same construe-- tion as disclosed in my patent first above rferred to. The mold relocking bar .71 well as the mold unlocking devicesw im are carried by the traveling frame in the present form of theinvention.

46 is the batter reservoir mounted on the traveling frame and connectedby a valved spout 4'? with the dipping tank 48. The construction of thedipping tank 48 and the manner of mounting the same may he the same asdisclosed in my patents above referred to save and except that instczulof mounting the parts on a stationary frame they are mounted on thetraveling carriage.

52 is a lever which is mounted at 58 on the traveling frame and operatesbetween stops 61. the lever 52 being mounted on a shaft 53 that has ashort arm 54- that is connected by a rod 55 to the heel of a fool 5(3which is designed to engage the latch lllflv: 5? to hold the travelingcarriage in its stepped positions along the track The manner ofsupporting the carriage in the operative and inoperative positions inbest understood by reference to Figs. :2 to 5 inclusive, from which itwill be seen that the brackets 26 support a plate on which is a maintrackway the entrant end of which, (see Fig. 4) is provided with a hingesection 64 that is adapted to he held normally in alinement with thetrackway section 25 by a light spring 70. Where the end of the pivotedsection (54 of the trackway comes, a short track section 3 is p ovidedat a lower location (see Fig. 4) and below that is a short track section653 so that as the carriage is drawn back, when in the position shown inFlgs. 3-4 in the draw mgs, as the rollers 232?= engage track sec tion64, the same will drop to position shown in dotted lines (the weight ofthe trawling; carriage being suiiicient for the purposel until theroller 24 rides on track section and track section 62 enters tracksection will fiy up into alinement with section 25 under the pressure ofthe spring 70 whereby as the carriage is moved forward from the extremelett hand position oi Fig. 4 toward the position of Fig. 5., the tracksection will enter between the rollers 22 and 23 so as to hold thetravelingframe in its relatively operative position until the partsarrive at the position indicated in 5, 6., when at the extreme end ofthe path oi? movement of the carriage. At the en treme end oi the pathof movement of the carriage the trackway is provided with a hingesection 66 that is pivoted at 67 and lies normally against the fixedsection 58 in alinement with the main tracl: portion 25 the section 66,however being capable of be lii'ted upwardly by roller 23 as roller 24:passes up the inclined track portion 69 toward the end of travel of thecarriage. ll hen the roller 23 has passed up to a positlon above thetrack section 68 the section 66 drops down into place again and on return movement of the carriage the same will be in the position shown inFig. 3 whereby the mold operating parts will be in alinement with theparts with which they are deslgned to engage and the carriage drawn backWithout'eiiectinp; any operation of the molding devices.

Suitable heating burners 71 are provided and the molds 5 are providedwith suitable oven portions of substantially the same con struction asis shown in my patents above referred to, and hence a detaileddescription or" the same is thought to be unnecessary.

ln operation assume the carriage to be at the extreme right hand end ofits path o'l" travel in Fig. 1, it being understood that there is onetraveling carriage and any number of molding}: devices may be founddesirable. As the bar 17 engages a core latch and the carriage has movedt th position shown in 1, the core latch of the particular mold inadvance of the carriage will be unlatched. Assume the carriage to havemoved so that the mold at position A has had its core bar unlatched,thenthe mold at position ll will not only have had its core barunlatched but the core bar will be sl rtly lifted by the trackway 31.andthe parison or female mold sections will be unlocked and opened. Themolding devices at position C will have the core bar fully raised in themold under the influence of the traclrway portion 31, the parison moldsfully opened and the baked cones discharged on the chute 4.2 by whichthey are delivered to the trimming); tubes l... The mold. at positionl.) will be ready to receive its charge of batter; the mold at positionE will have received its charge of batter at a previou pper tion and thecore bar will have been .e'i

.l and will he ready llliilOGlQl-llfij while the mold at position F willbe fully locked and the baking; process going on.

The operator then turns crank 87 in a counterclockwise direction whichlift the core bar out of the mold at position 1) and dips the cores intothe dipping tank, at the same time winding up the cable and drawing;

down member 4&0 to push the baked cones through the trimmer tubes ll.onto the discharge chute l5 and thereby simultaneously effecting; thetrimming act. ll t i th lever 37 back again, the cores are lifted outoff the tank and restored to the molds and the machine is ready to bemoved one step farther. This is done by reciting lever 52 to release thefoot latch 56 and move it into engagement with the next succeeding hip;57 at Which place the foregoing operation is repeated.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that it is only necessary for theoperator to move the carriage along the traclrway 58 in a step by-stepmanner and turn the crank 37 at each step to effect the loading eration.

When the carriage has passed all of the molding devices it isautomatically tilted forward to position shown in Fig. 2, as beforedescribed, and then can be drawn back to the extreme right hand end ofthe trackway, again ready for a repetition of the cycle of operations.

lilany changes in the details of construction of the various partscomprisin the inventi ma be made without departing; from the spirit ofthe same or the scope oi the appended claims.
